I can't deny I'll be somewhat disappointed.

BUT!

(1) Biden lives in Delaware and commutes. He has the best chance of crafting an out of Washington narrative that doesn't undercut Obama. He also has a great personal story to tell.

(2) Biden will attack. He speaks affirmatively and forcefully and declarativly and he has the stature that his statements are immediatly accepted as accurate by the village: and the village think he's smarter than McCain so that also gives the Obama camp a leg up.

The best thing for Biden is he's a great attack guy and he's a great debater and I would trust him to go down with the ticket and fight through November. The worst thing about him is the plagarism rap; but it seems the press has given him a pass on this. Furthurmore, Joe Biden is likeable. I really do like him even when disagreeing.

The most important thing: he can testify he was wrong on Iraq and tried to limit the powers of the president in this while McCain went blind into Iraq.

I honestly don't think it's Biden, however, because the Obama camp seems settled on the outside Washington argument. And I don't discount the Gov. of Montana. The Obama camp didn't spend the fourth of July there (where both Michelle and Barack spent time with the Gov. family) for their health. I think he has been on the list but since he's not in the beltway loop we dont' know if he's been vetted.

I also think that the fact Dodd DID get vetted as well is good too: the Obama folks seem to have gone that far with only serious contenders. So I think that Obama is looking at a broad aray of qualities. No one still knows what is going to go down.

Which is excellent: hopefully the ticket'll give him a bounce.
